New Madrid Lyrics

[00:08.13] All my daydreams are disasters
[00:16.33] She's the one I think I love
[00:23.54] Rivers burn and then run backwards
[00:29.94] For her, that's enough
[00:38.01] They all come from New York City
[00:45.36] And they woke me up at dawn
[00:53.48] She walked with me to the fountain
[01:00.66] And she held onto my arm
[01:07.09] Come on, do what you did
[01:11.57] Roll me under New Madrid
[01:16.95] Shake my baby and please bring her back
[01:25.18] 'Cause death won't even be still
[01:28.74] Caroms over the landfill
[01:34.12] Buries us all in its broken back
[01:43.12] There's a man of conviction
[01:50.38] And although he's getting old
[01:58.57] Mr. Browning has a prediction
[02:05.74] And we've all been told
[02:13.96] So come on back from New York City
[02:21.15] Roll your trucks in at dawn
[02:29.24] Walk with me to the fountain
[02:36.50] And hold onto my arm
[02:43.76] Come on, do what you did
[02:47.31] Roll me under New Madrid
[02:52.87] Shake my baby and please bring her back
[03:00.93] 'Cause death won't even be still
[03:04.58] Caroms over the landfill
[03:10.81] Buries us all in its broken back
[03:17.24]
